<p>Pomona has an environmental analysis in economics program which is top notch. I think one of the Truman scholars from this year followed that program.</p>
<p>Yale, Columbia, Duke, Stanford <--- you are already right on.</p>
<p>Look at Dartmouth or Princeton - both have faculty in Environmental Science that are very active. Also, check out Berkeley and Michigan if you are looking for a larger sized school.</p>
<p>The econ and environmental science faculty at all of these schools will certainly facilitate your rise to world expert.</p>
<p>I love how the boy asks for LACs and you guys list giant research universities.</p>
<p>You're going to find that your best environmental and natural resource economics department will be at research universities, to which I'd add University of Rhode Island and UC-Berkeley (two of the best environmental economics departments in the country).</p>
<p>What you'll find is a number of liberal arts colleges will have solid environmental studies program with only one (sometimes) two professors specializing in economics compared to 10-1 researchers say at URI. I can name solid professors at Antioch College, Lewis & Clark, Amherst, Pomona...but you're going to be limited research-wise and in course selection.</p>
<p>The Claremont Colleges (specifically Claremont McKenna, Scripps and Pitzer of the Joint Science Dept.) offer a wonderful program/major called Environment, Economics, and Politics.</p>
<p>Here's from the catalog:</p>
<p>Closely associated with the Roberts Environmental Center, the Environment, Economics, and Politics (EEP) major emphasizes problems and opportunities for the real world of the 21th century. An awareness of the environmental issues has become increasingly important for anyone with a career in business or the professions. The EEP major provides students interested in economics and policy studies with a background in ecological analysis and environmental management.</p>
<p>Students take basic courses in biology, chemistry, economics, government and mathematics, together with advanced courses in areas such as environmental law, environment and resource economics, government and the environment, and natural resource management. In their junior or senior year students participate in a clinic course related to the current research of the Center.</p>
<p>Lehigh University, Virginia Tech, U of California-Davis, Ohio Wesleyan University, Hood College, SUNY Plattsburgh and many others. What's your primary interest? Woodland, geologic,aquatic/marine, environmental chemistry?</p>
<p>Speaking as an employer who has researched some of these programs from a recruiting standpoint, here are a few strong LAC environmental programs (that allow integration of sciences w/ economics) I favor:</p>
